Scientific Thoughts Expressed by Old Tamil Literatures Synopsis Science is a scientific form of thought recorded in old Tamil literature. Thoughts can be seen as expressions of the life activities of the people of that time. Scientific ideas also merged with the ancient Tamils as they tended to adapt their lives to nature. They have lived with biological, astronomical, mathematical, medical, biological, chronological, craft, geological, etc. scientific disciplines. This study is aimed at identifying and documenting the reflections of such scientific ideas on how they have been studied in ancient Tamil literature. The dissertation is characterized by the fact that the dissertation has been used extensively in old Tamil literature, as well as old Tamil essays, magazines, and electronic commentaries. Based on these, the study concludes that Tamils have had the best scientific knowledge since the dawn of time. Therefore, this study also suggests that many more studies should be carried out by researchers focusing on the ancient Tamil literature.

We, the people, can see that inner worship helps us to know the truth of our lives and the power of our minds. If we see our soul in the way of the mind, every human being can live with respect and dignity. The law of God teaches peoples the grammar of forbearance and, where possible, the medicine of hell, grace, and, in the best possible places, insists on constantly understanding the morals possible, and the misery of the one who ignores morality. The short novel literature describes the contemporary cults of idolatry, pre-propagation and grace. What is the divine power? It answers the questions of where it is being sedated so that everyone can know.

The Bible, the holy book of Christians, consists of two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. In the Old Testament, wrongdoers bled to get rid of it by sacrificing sheep, cattle and birds. They thought that their sins were being relieved by the bleeding. During the New Testament, Jesus came to human beings and taught people the order of life and the way to seek God by living with man. He made people realize their crimes. He bled himself to death to get rid of it. Salvation is the relief from sin by Jesus’ blood. On the third day he rose alive and recorded his marvellous event in the history of the world. It is the belief of Christians in godliness that Jesus will come back to the world for the second time, judge people according to their actions and take those who live pure life according to their principles to heaven. The purpose of this study is to express these views.
